Genes affected

ABCA4 (HGNC:34): (ATP binding cassette subfamily A member 4) The membrane-associated protein encoded by this gene is a member of the superfamily of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. ABC proteins transport various molecules across extra- and intracellular membranes. ABC genes are divided into seven distinct subfamilies (ABC1, MDR/TAP, MRP, ALD, OABP, GCN20, White). This protein is a member of the ABC1 subfamily. Members of the ABC1 subfamily comprise the only major ABC subfamily found exclusively in multicellular eukaryotes. This protein is a retina-specific ABC transporter with N-retinylidene-PE as a substrate. It is expressed exclusively in retina photoreceptor cells, and the gene product mediates transport of an essental molecule, all-trans-retinal aldehyde (atRAL), across the photoreceptor cell membrane. Mutations in this gene are found in patients diagnosed with Stargardt disease, a form of juvenile-onset macular degeneration. Mutations in this gene are also associated with retinitis pigmentosa-19, cone-rod dystrophy type 3, early-onset severe retinal dystrophy, fundus flavimaculatus, and macular degeneration age-related 2.

ACMG classification

Verdict is Pathogenic. Variant got 18 ACMG points.

• PVS1: Loss of function variant, product undergoes nonsense mediated mRNA decay. LoF is a known mechanism of disease.
• PM2: Very rare variant in population databases, with high coverage
• PP5: Variant 1-94048897-TC-T is Pathogenic according to our data. Variant chr1-94048897-TC-T is described in ClinVar as [Likely_pathogenic]. Clinvar id is 224755.Status of the report is criteria_provided_multiple_submitters_no_conflicts, 2 stars. Variant chr1-94048897-TC-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr1-94048897-TC-T is described in Lovd as [Pathogenic]. Variant chr1-94048897-TC-T is described in Lovd as [Likely_pathogenic].

This sequence change creates a premature translational stop signal (p.Glu905Argfs*27) in the ABCA4 gene. It is expected to result in an absent or disrupted protein product. Loss-of-function variants in ABCA4 are known to be pathogenic (PMID: 10958761, 24938718, 25312043, 26780318). This variant is not present in population databases (gnomAD no frequency). This premature translational stop signal has been observed in individual(s) with retinal dystrophy (PMID: 23769331). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 224755). For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic. -
